you're not listening to me when you .....





- give me advice


- tell me why i shouldn't feel that way


- feel you need to do something to solve my problems


- can't accept i feel what i feel no matter how irrational


- cause me to focus on convincing you rather than understanding my own issues


- don't see things from my point of view


- are not acknowledging or responding to me or my body language, feelings, meanings, silences


- are judging me, correcting me, sorting me out


- have a focus - its just not on me


- are in a hurry


- ask so many questions it feels like an interrogation


- are doing something else whilst you listen to me


- tell your own story


- jump in to reassure me


- keep on interrupting me 






summarised from materials found here from 2010 conference and in particular the handouts for the April 16 breakout session on listening in a world of talk by linda murchinson & mary zahl
